Have we talked about car batteries, yet....?

What's the hot setup for value?

Walmart, Costco,  Interstate, Delco

We just went through this for Michael's Mazda6 and Wal-Mart was the value leader. In addition, Wal-Mart was the most convenient and winner for available NOW.

Costco sells Interstate batteries, but they usually fail a load test. Done with the tester that our Interstate rep gave us.

Big box stores usually sell cheapened renditions of the real thing, I would avoid.

So, related this, my wife's 2014 Civic Si wouldn't start this morning. No click. Lights would turn on but that was it. We've replaced the battery once, but did it already die? The car wouldn't start via a jump box, either. 

I put the car on my Optima charger for a few, and it showed progress. After 2 hours, car started just fine. We went to Autozone for a quick test, and the nice man there said that all looked good--he could have sold us a battery and didn't try. 

So, I dunno. Maybe it was last night's cooler temps? 

We have an account with interstate at work, and sell tons of their batteries. 

They do not manufacture batteries, only stick labels on them. 

Im a big fan. The econo line in particular is a very good value. Its a battery that is new, but has timed out on the shelf. I paid $38 for a group 35 last week, one year warranty. 

In reply to Folgers :

I didn't know about this, I'll ask my rep about it when it comes time to get an AGM battery for the thing that should not be.

We did two videos that could answer some battery questions.
